I did'nt have any second thoughts, with only this one piece I just had to grab her before anybody did. But a bit bittersweet taste for the price of £99.00 --- And guess how exaggeratingly meticulous I am, I even asked for that displayed price tag (that laminated folded card where you can see the name of the character and it's price) for me to have and I got it as well. Lol!

Ah, so YOU were the one who got her...I was in there the other day and wondered where they had kept her.
Why didn't you order online? It's much cheaper...They tend to add the 'London pricing' to everything in their Shaftesbury branch

Wonderwoman is priced OK but Catwoman shows a huge price boost - probably due to price inflation - which is why I ordered Catwoman, Black canary & Power Girl through My online comic store

Which online comic store do you use?

I used to order bits and pieces online but considering that I always drop by FB like every alternate weeks to stack on some comics, I just could'nt resist the temptation to have these collectibles right there and then.
Besides, I had been traumatized much on how compulsive I could be. There was a time I ordered Alex Ross' Superman online. But while I was in FB I was not able to resist buying it right there. I figured I can't wait that long for the delivery. I thought I just would cancel the delivery. But guess what? The next day after I got the item. So two pieces all together since I did not have the will power to fight the urge.

Yeah, tell me about it. I am your typical compulsive shopper. But at all times when it comes to those collectibles, when I see what I like I just have to have them.
Zatanna was the only stock in FB and months before it was Wonder Woman --- only stock on display as well, just have to get her before anybody does. And I do hope that when the Cat and Powergirl comes out, I would still have my luck and I'll will be the first to possess it from Forbidden Planet. Sorry Riteguytu! Finders keepers....

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
